If a programming language is defined by prompts that instruct a computer on what to do then a WYSIWYG editor is a form of programming language. Here’s why:

  • Prompts as instructions - In a WYSIWYG editor, user actions (e.g., clicking, dragging, and typing) serve as prompts that instruct the computer to generate specific outputs
  • Abstraction layers - Like high-level programming languages, WYSIWYG editors abstract away the underlying complexities (e.g., raw code) and allow users to focus on their goals
  • Rule-based execution - The editor operates under a set of rules (e.g., how elements are positioned or styled)

However, by definition, traditional programming languages offer more opportunities for expression, and WYSIWYG editors generally lack syntax and grammar that typical programming languages have.

But if we define programming as “instructing a computer to perform tasks,” then WYSIWYG editors fit as a visual, domain-specific “language” for programming layouts and styles.

Are Channels Working?


!New To Friendica I have tried to make some channels. Attached is a screenshot of the settings for an example channel.

Seems as if they should work, but posts only occasionally show up in them. And the few posts that have appeared over the last couple weeks don't seem to have a common element to them, i.e. they are not from any particular instance.

I'm wonder what is going on and whether I can fix it.

Sonnet 042 - XLII
That thou hast her it is not all my grief,
And yet it may be said I loved her dearly;
That she hath thee is of my wailing chief,
A loss in love that touches me more nearly.
Loving offenders thus I will excuse ye:
Thou dost love her, because thou know'st I love her;
And for my sake even so doth she abuse me,
Suffering my friend for my sake to approve her.
If I lose thee, my loss is my love's gain,
And losing her, my friend hath found that loss;
Both find each other, and I lose both twain,
And both for my sake lay on me this cross:
But here's the joy; my friend and I are one;
Sweet flattery! then she loves but me alone.

It's a seasonal city that is extremely bicycle friendly thanks to the Root River Trail, one of the first Rails-to-Trails multi-use paths. Downside is the shops perceive bicycles more as recreation than transportation when they put in bicycle parking, remembering what they used in elementary school instead of using modern best practices.

But also, as someone who has used my bicycle as my main transportation, I appreciate having *anywhere* to lock my bicycle.

Folks on #Bluesky are getting smug about how #Threads are serving ads.

But let’s be real: ads are likely to come to Bluesky too. And it will be worse on Bluesky because Bluesky controls the relays and firehose.

However, on the Fediverse, I control both relays and feeds—the server that I own does everything.

While Graber has committed not to “enshittify” the platform with ads, she’s not ruling out ads altogether.

So here it is: ads are coming to the decentralized social web.

#Threads is definitely going to do it. And #Bluesky teases that it’s a “possibility” – but let’s be real, they’re totally going to do it.

This is why running your own #Fediverse server is so important: you can completely opt out.

It’s a Friday.

You know why #Meta announced #ads are coming to #Threads on a Friday? Because they know you’re in a good mood, about to start the weekend, and probably not paying attention to what’s going on.

They know ads are unpopular, so they announced this on a Friday.

Getting into a rabbit hole of #running documentaries recently. The recent "Road to Houston" series (which just started) is the latest one, and it's pretty awesome if you can get past the narration: youtube.com/watch?v=72gthn-vea…

It covers the Houston Half Marathon in which (spoiler alert) Conner Mantz got 2nd place to break the American HM record set by Ryan Hall.

Little Drone, Big Damage - Drone that bent this wing weighed less than half a pound


Photos of the internal damage caused by a drone strike on the wing of a CL-415 waterbomber in California 10 days ago show that even tiny drones pack a punch. The drone, pieces of which were recovered from inside the wing, has been identified as weighing less than half a pound. The impact over Pacific Palisades bent the front of a rib and a horizontal leading edge member, and the water-scooping amphib required significant repairs.

Yes, it's really freaking freezing out in North America.

But did you know there's a place where it's not...QUITE...freezing?

The Core reports, Sweden's forests never cease, so the country built an entire city out of wood, 2,000 new homes, 7,000 offices, plus a high school and countless eco-friendly details. It's not your typical backyard treehouse. Instead, it uses cross-laminated timber tougher than steel, cutting emissions in half and fueling a construction frenzy that costs 10% more upfront but saves time (and sanity) because there's no messy concrete to pour. It's called Stockholm Wood City.

Mastodon/Bluesky bridge should work the same for Friendica.

But there is more. There is a Friendica-specific "bridge" to Bluesky, which connects your Bluesky account to Friendica. This makes Friendica a Bluesky client, so you will be able to interact with any Bluesky account (not only these who opted in to federation to Mastodon) - as you will interact with them as a Bluesky user.

Go to Settings → Social Networks. Do you see "Bluesky Import/Export"? If not, ask your admin to add it.

The same thing can be possible with Tumblr (which does not even federate!)
